can be good.
a bit on the heavy side though - a lot of timber in the shaft and heel.

Just bought a new one at the weekend, but got it through a club source. If can depend, if you walk in off the street you`ll wait three weeks, and they may be good, or may be iffy  (if he doesn`t know you, the latter is more likely ) . Buy in bulk, like as a club, and you`ll likely get the better quality. And when they are good, for me they are the best hurls in the county.

Be aware though, it isn`t Ramie any more, it`s his son, and the hurls are slightly changed, they have a slight "heel" at the back of the bas, which makes a bigger bas. It`s not as pronounced as a Cork hurl, but it`s moving in that direction. I quite like it, but it`s not to everyone`s taste.

i think they are over rated,good timber but they always split up the middle,they dont tighten tin enough on them either and it rattles and comes loose very easily.try o brien in tipp,clancy in clare or willie bulfin in limerick,all very good sticks,but thats just my own opinion!!
